Will brass affect milk?

[Al Lewis]

Hopefully that is not a pre-soldered water fixture as the solder may have lead in it.

plumbing solder is lead free,
tin, silver, copper and bismuth

dear ALPKASEREI,,,,,,,,,thankyou for such a comprehensive post, spent my working life in whisky distilling and other

spiritous beverages industry and consequently have a deep respect for copper for the reasons you gave plus the following

it assists in the removal of sulfides............dissapates heat readily.........inhibits liquid borne micro-organisms such as

bacteria , viruses , algae and parasites through it's anti-microbial properties / effects

E-Coli can only live on copper for a couple of hours even when the surface is dry but can "party on" , on stainless steel for

months

i'm sure you are aware of only using cadnium free solder  around food equipment too [ just saw your last

post come in ] 

last but certainly not least copper is very easy in the eye department

many regards,,,,,,,,,,brian
